Pete Finnigan's Oracle Security Weblog

This is the weblog for Pete Finnigan. Pete works in the area of Oracle security and he specialises in auditing Oracle databases for security issues. This weblog is aimed squarely at those interested in the security of their Oracle databases.

Our software product PFCLScan can be used to assess your Oracle databases for security issues that could make your data vulnerable to loss or attack. PFCLScan initially had its own website, PFCLScan.com but since the restyle and redesign of our main company site PeteFinnigan.com we decided to bring all of the existing PFCLScan website materials back into PeteFinnigan.com. This was mainly because we want a consistent website with all our offerings in one place and not spread across multiple websites. We also have PFCLObfuscate our product used to protect the IPR (Intellectual Property) in PL/SQL, which also will be brought to PeteFinnigan.com from its existing own website in the next few days.

There is now a hub on PeteFinnigan.com for PFCLScan which is referenced from every page - simply click on the insect or PFCLScan on every page to take you to the PFCLScan Home. We have brought across the Features page, Resellers Page, Licensing details page and create an articles page. The articles are the blog entries from PFCLScan.com and whilst some are a little out of date they are still useful posts. Also note some of the pictures are of the older styled interface.

Any new blog posts about PFCLScan will be posted on the main PeteFinnigan.com Blog Page. We may also add some new articles to the article section where a post may be a little longer than a normal blog post.

Please have a look and learn some more about PFCLScan. If you would like to see an online demo please contact me

We are also looking for resellers particularly for PFCLScan, our training and consulting. If you feel you can offer PFCLScan to your customers then please contact me to discuss. We offer commission on sales and also renewals. Resellers of PFCLScan also can offer up-sell opportunities to their customers such as helping to rectify insecure databases or to help design and create custom PFCLScan policies or reports for customers to check compliance of their databases against their own standards. We are also always interested in any companies who would like to partner with us to resell and host our training courses; again please speak to me if you feel that this would be useful to your company.

PFCLTraining is a set of expert training classes for you, aimed at teaching how to audit your own Oracle database,
design audit trails, secure code in PL/SQL and secure and lock down your Oracle database.
